All,

I have some AVIs digitized from Beta on a Mac using the DVCPro Codec. I installed the Codec from Matrox and now PPro can use them, but only on the timeline. The clip preview window is blank and won't play.

Does anyone have any input on this?

Hmmm... what is axio?

Either way it won't help me get the rough cut they need by Monday :o.

The footage was digitized with DVCPRO50 codec?

It may not play back over firewire without conversion to DV25 (DV format, 25mbps).

My guess anyways.

No, it was DVCPro, not DVCPro50.

Basically it worked ok, but I had to put everything on the timeline and render it, then cut it down from there. Not the way I like to work though.
